This is an old post and I doubt anyone is following it, but just in case they are, I wanted to follow up. I, in fact, took this course. The instructor is amazing at taking very advanced concepts and explaining them in a way that even a novice can understand.
In my fair assessment, I would say that the advanced concepts aren't immediately applicable at least live at the table, but it gave me a more solid fundamental framework and intuition of the game, specifically about game-theory-optimal play (and what that even means). The class was structured so that there'd be a lecture with lots of Q&A until every person got the concept. Lots of examples were used. Then as a bonus, the instructor allowed us to bring up our own hands for the class to discuss. That was a very interesting aspect of the class that let you get into the mind of how a poker player should think.
There's a also basic poker strategy course that he teaches that's currently taking enrollment:

I didn't take this class, but it probably focuses more on practical skills you can apply right now at the table, and if it's taught in the same way, I think it could be very valuable.
For the record, UCLA is not giving me any commission for promoting this class (though I wish they did lol), but I wanted to let everyone know about it if this was something they were looking for. Also, the instructor Duncan and I have become friends since and we've even played at your local LA casino together. I can tell you he's not just all talk.
